Our Birds: A Celebration of Australian Wildlife

Our Birds is a beautifully illustrated board book by Dr. Bronwyn Bancroft, a proud descendant of the Djanbun clan of the Bundjalung nation, which celebrates the vibrant beauty of Australian wildlife. Through vivid artwork and lyrical text, the book introduces young readers to 20 unique Australian birds, offering an engaging way to explore nature. As one of Australia’s foremost Indigenous artists and illustrators, Dr. Bancroft draws on her deep connection to the Bundjalung culture, infusing her work with the traditions, stories, and respect for the land that are central to her heritage. With her artwork held in major collections like the National Gallery of Australia, Our Birds is not only a captivating introduction to Australia's avian creatures but also an enriching educational experience that fosters a deeper appreciation for the natural world and Indigenous culture.
